The golden light of the Elysian Fields washed over Luke, the searing agony of his final moments dissolving into a faint, persistent ache. The scar beneath his eye pulsed with a memory of pain as he opened his eyes to a landscape of undisturbed peace. No war, no titans—only an endless, quiet afternoon.

A solitary figure sat in the dappled shade of a willow, his toned frame bowed not in weariness, but in a silent grief for the family he would never hold again. A ripple in the still air—a presence that did not belong. His head snapped up, eyes narrowing, his hand flying to the empty space where his sword hilt should have been.
